        intra_switch_policy: "implicit"
        member:
         -

        name: "default_name_6"
        span: "disable"
        span_dest_port: "<your_own_value> (source system.interface.name)"
        span_direction: "rx"
        span_source_port:
         -
            interface_name: "<your_own_value> (source system.interface.name)"
        type: "switch"
